admins are shown to all usergroups…

In that case I’d better have a look. I might not be able to save the change though.

No can view profiles of members and can view members lists are set correctly for moderators

no, I mean on forum – options – member settings…

are you limiting membership lists to usergroups the user has membership in?

‘Limit membership lists to usergroups the user has membership in:’ = big red blob besides surely that would mean that ordinary members would not be able to see the mods in that list wouldn’t it? Ordinary members can see admin, members and mods sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

actually, I mispoke… that option is no longer valid and needs to be removed… from the panel, that is…

the option is now in template tag… so unless you changed from the default in spMembersView.php when calling sp_has_member_groups(), you are doing the limiting which is the default currently…

Right.

I must be seriously stupid but how does that explain the difference between ordinary users (who can see all members in all groups) and moderators who can only see the admin and their own group. If what you are saying is true then that means that the ordinary member group is malfunctioning.

I guess you found it because I did and svn up and it is all fixed

no. just changed the default to not limit by usergroup membership… but if you svn up the theme, it will probably go back…

so default for the template tag is not limit – but then for our default/iforum themes, we set the limit flag… but would like to make sure once you do that…

right now, I cannot duplicate your issue with users seeing the moderator usergroups… in my tests, they cannot… so would need to figure out what you have unique again…

and btw, we are considering a major rewrite of the members list stuff… who would have thought something so simple in concept would become one of the most complex display/list issues we have 🙄

OK I have svn up and copied the default theme spMembersView.php into my theme and now mods and members can only see admins and their own groups.

I believe that this is the expected behaviour.

I believe that this is the expected default behaviour.

I haven’t looked yet as Steve was working this after I finished for the night.
